I have to say, I did not see this one coming. Google just pushed to shoot down revenge pr0n legislation according to the New York Post. I guess I still should be worried about "that video" showing up one day. But when you watch it, don't blame me for your nightmares. Guess we should be glad that "do not evil" clause was removed.
“It’s deeply disturbing that Google and tech lobbyists were quiet as a church mouse for the five years this bill has been percolating in Albany and then literally the morning it’s up for vote, they bulldoze in with coercive demands on our lawmakers to change the language,” Goldberg said.
“It’s a disgrace how weak our lawmakers look for bowing down to these tech corporate overlords.”
The Internet Association — an influential lobbying group working on behalf of Google and a host of other websites used to disseminate revenge porn — fought the bill, which has passed the Assembly but needed Senate approval.
